Henny Penny OFE-341 User manual

Model OFE/OFG/OEA/OGA-341, 342
2-1. INTRODUCTION This section provides the installation instructions for the
Henny Penny open fryer.
Installation of the unit should be preformed only by a
qualified service technician.
Do not puncture the unit with any objects such as drills
or screws as component damage or electrical shock
could result.
2-2. UNPACKING The Henny Penny open fryer has been tested, inspected,
and expertly packed to ensure arrival at its destination in
the best possible condition. The unit is banded to a wooden
skid and then packed inside a heavy cardboard carton with
sufficient padding to withstand normal shipping treatment.
Any shipping damage should be noted in the presence
of the delivery agent and signed prior to his or her
departure.
1. Carefully cut bands from cardboard carton.
2. Lift carton from fryer.
3. Cut and remove the metal bands holding the fryer to the
pallet.
4. Remove the fryer from the pallet.
Take care when moving the fryer to prevent
personal injury. Single-well fryers weigh 348lbs.
(158 kg) and 2-well fryers weigh 700 lbs. (318 kg).

2-3. SELECTING THE Proper location of the open fryer is very important for
LOCATION operation, speed, and convenience. Locate the open fryer to
allow clearances for servicing and proper operation. Choose
a location which provides easy loading and unloading
without interfering with the final assembly of food orders.
Operators have found that frying from raw to finish, and
holding the product in warmers provides fast continuous
service. Keep in mind the best efficiency is obtained by
a straight line operation, i.e. raw in one side and finished out
the other side. Order assembly can be moved away with only
a slight loss of efficiency.
To avoid fire, install the open fryer with minimum clearance
from all combustible and noncombustible materials, 0
inches (0.0 cm) from the side and 6 inches (15.24 cm) from
the back. If installed properly, the open fryer is designed for
operation on combustible floors and adjacent to combustible
walls.
To prevent severe burns from splashing hot
shortening, position and install fryer to prevent
tipping or movement. Restraining ties may be used
for stabilization.
2-4. LEVELING THE OPEN For proper operation, level the open fryer from side to side
FRYER and front to back. Using a level placed on the flat areas
around the frypot collar, on the middle well, adjust fryer
accordingly.
2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER Locate the open fryer with provision for venting into an
adequate exhaust hood or ventilation system. This is
essential to permit efficient removal of the steam exhaust and
frying odors. Take special precautions in designing an
exhaust canopy to avoid interference with the operation of
the open fryer. We recommend you consult a local
ventilation or heating company to help in designing an
adequate system.
Ventilation must conform to local, state, and national
codes. Consult your local fire department or building
authorities.

2-5. VENTILATION OF FRYER
(Continued)
When installing the gas fry station do not attach an
extension to the gas flue exhaust stack. This may impair
proper operation of the burner, causing malfunctions
and possible negative back draft.
2-6. GAS SUPPLY The gas open fryer is factory available for either natural or
propane gas. Check the data plate inside the front door of the
cabinet to determine the proper gas supply requirements. The
minimum supply for natural gas is 7 inches water column, and 10
for propane.
Do not attempt to use any gas other than that specified
on the data plate. Incorrect gas supply could cause a fire
or explosion resulting in severe injuries and/or property
damage.
Refer to the illustration on the following page for the
recommended hookup of the Open Fryer to the main gas line
supply.
To avoid possible serious personal injury:
• Installation must conform with local, state, and national
codes.
• Installation must conform with American National
Standard Z223.1-Latest Edition National Fuel Gas Code
and the local municipal building codes. In Canada,
installation must be in accordance with Standards
CAN/CSA B 149.1 and 149.2, & Installation Codes - Gas
Burning Appliances and local codes. In Australia, in
accordance with Australian Gas Authority rules AG601-
2000, section AS5601.
• Isolate the fryer from the gas supply piping system by
closing its individual manual shut off valve during any
pressure testing of the gas supply piping system at test
pressures equal to or less than 1/2 PSIG (3.45 KPA)
(34.47 mbar).
• The appliance and its individual shutoff valve must be
disconnected from the gas supply system during any
pressure testing in excess or ½ psi (3.45 KPA).

2-6. GAS SUPPLY • A standard one inch, black steel pipe and malleable fit-
(Continued) tings should be used for gas service connections.
• Do not use cast iron fittings.
• Although 1 inch (2.54 cm) sized pipe is recommend for 2
wells and 3/4 inch (1.9 cm) sized pipe is recommended
for single wells, use adequate sized pipe and install
properly, to provide a supply of gas sufficient to meet
the maximum demand without undue loss of pressure
between the meter and the open fryer. The pressure loss
in the piping system should not exceed 0.3-inch water
column (.747 mbar).
• Do not adjust the vacuum pressure switch. It is factory
set for the most efficiency.
Provisions should be made for moving the open fryer for
cleaning and servicing. This may be accomplished by:
1. Installing a manual gas shut off valve and a disconnect
union, or
2. Installing a heavy-duty design CSA certified
connector. In order to be able to service this appliance,
which is provided with casters, a connector complying
with ANSI Z21.69 or CAN 1-6.l0m88 and a
quick-disconnect device, complying with ANSI Z21.41
or CAN 1-6.9m70, must be installed. It must also be
installed with restraining means to guard against
transmission of strain to the connector as specified in the
appliance manufacturers instruction.
3. Refer to the cable restraint instructions, on preceding page,
on how and where to attach the restraining devices to
the wall and fryer.
The cable restraint limits the distance the open fryer
can be pulled from the wall. For cleaning and
servicing the unit, the cable must be unsnapped from
the open fryer and the flexible gas line disconnected.
This allows better access to all sides of the open
fryer. The gas line and cable restraint must be
reconnected once the cleaning or servicing is
complete.

2-7. GAS LEAK TEST
Prior to turning the gas supply on, be sure the gas valve
knob on the gas control valve is in the OFF position.
Upon initial installation, and after moving the unit, the piping
and fittings should be checked for gas leaks. A simple
checking method is to turn on the gas and brush all
connections with a soap solution. If bubbles occur, it
indicates escaping gas.
To avoid fire or explosion, never use a lighted match or
open flame to test for gas leaks. ignited gas could result
in severe personal injury and/or property damage.
2-8. PRESSURE REGULATOR The gas pressure regulator on the automatic gas valve is
factory set as follows:
• Natural: 3.5 inches water column (8.7 mbar).
• Propane 10.0 inches water column (24.9 mbar).
The gas pressure regulator has been set by Henny
Penny and is not to be adjusted by the user.
